BEST HUSBAND EVER!

I have such a handy husband! I love, love, LOVE that he can build or repair almost anything :)

This weekend Ian completed a pretty big project that included, putting in a wall/door, building shelving, trim, installing pot lights and rearranging/repairing our drop cealing.  It looks great (and will look even more awesome once we get new carpet in).  I hadn't thought about this space being very useable before but I think it will be a great place to stash some of Hailey's bigger toys, where she can play out of the way.  Maybe perhaps a play kitchen that might be coming for her birthday this summer!  Here are the transformation pictures!

wierd, useless open space

nice space for Hailey to play once carpeted

I'm so proud and thankful for my handyman :)

What's Happening...

No cute Easter pictures to show as I didn't take my camera to Edmonton but this is what Ian and I have been up to this holiday:

I got a job teaching grade 2 for the rest of the year
Ian's cousin had a baby girl (born to Jen and Brent Garner)
Ian had scout camp with our branch and loved it
I went to Edmonton to see family while he was gone (including my sisters new bf and sister)
Got my hair cut (yes must be spring)
Baby is 21 weeks along and I am feeling it move daily
Ian has left for Prince Albert again for 7 days (will come back on his birthday the 20th)
It is spring break so I am spending the week packing to move and planning for school
14 Days until we get possession of our house
and the weather has been so beautiful!

I can't wait to have a yard to work in and a deck to enjoy the wonderful sun! It was great to hear about all your exciting holidays and to see the pictures of your adorable families. Keep writing cause I stalk you all daily!

Our House... down the road on Our Street

Here it is!











This house is just perfect for us. Lots of room to expand into, yard is finished, garage is attached, has A/C, still can use some fix ups, 3 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, a living room and family room with a fireplace, large basement windows, a kitchen pantry, a master on-suite with walk in closet and it is all located just down the street from where we live right now.

Just going through the normal processes now of securing finances and getting the home inspection done. We are so excited and are praying that everything is fine with the house. We do know that once we move in the place is going to be pretty empty cause we will have nothing to fill it with!!!!!

We are most excited to have room for guests and company!

I was SO wrong

Well the baby is a GIRL and I was totally surprised! I don't really know why I was so convinced it was a boy. Perhaps I was just hoping my girls would have a big brother to look out for them cause that is what I always wanted. Either way though we were both so excited. It still makes me laugh though cause I really hadn't even considered having a daughter yet. Who doesn't love little girls though!

We also found out this morning that they accepted our house offer! So we will be official home owners very soon. We will be moving in a month, so I just became very busy.

I have a sub call for this afternoon so I will post again soon about the rest of the details and put up pictures of baby and house.

Thank you to everyone for being so excited for us and waiting all day yesterday to hear the news!
